A new binary genetic programming approach to designing public transportation systems according to transit-oriented development criteria

Hasan YILMAZ

This study introduces a new evolutionary approach called Binary Genetic Programming (BGP) to design and assess public transportation systems from a sustainable development perspective. The BGP combines evolutionary system identi cation techniques with k-fold cross-validation to obtain an accurate model between the land use and transportation parameters from a sustainable urban development point of view. To assess the new model, two public transportation systems including the new tram line of Antalya (Turkey) and the bus rapid transit line of Bhopal (India) were considered. The model was employ ...Более

A Multi-Objective Mathematical Programming Model for Transit Network Design and Frequency Setting Problem

İbrahim AKGÜN

In this study, we propose a novel multi-objective nonlinear mixed-integer mathematical programming model for the transit network design and frequency setting problem that aims at designing the routes and determining the frequencies of the routes to satisfy passenger demand in a transit network. The proposed model incorporates the features of real-life transit network systems and reflects the views of both passengers and the transit agency by considering the in-vehicle travel time, transfers, waiting times at the boarding and transfer stops, overcrowding and under-utilization of vehicles, and v ...Более

Ecological aspects in the use of soil enzymes as indicators of anthropogenic soil pollution

Nurzat TOTUBAYEVA

In the contemporary era, with rapid industrial growth and urbanisation, analysing the impact of human activities on soil enzyme activity becomes crucial. The purpose of this study is to assess the influence of anthropogenic pollution on enzyme activity in soil. Research on enzyme activity levels in the soil in the city of Kara-Balta, Chuy Region, Kyrgyz Republic, was conducted using biochemical analyses and specific enzymatic tests. The results revealed significant diversity in catalase activity in different soil samples. Some samples exhibited high activity, while others showed low activity. ...Более

To Click or Not To Click? Kyrgyz Consumers

Azamat MAKSUDUNOV

Social media attracts a wide range of users and in this way creates great opportunities for businesses and in this way attract the academic researchers from all over the world. According to recently published research, the majority of the articles on this subject concentrated in the last 5 years and main of them addressed to developed countries. Limited numbers of studies have published from emerging markets especially from the former Soviet Union countries. This study aims to examine social media usage in Post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan. Data was collected by using structured questionnaire, which base ...Более

The demand determinants for urban public transport services: A review of the literature

Cihat POLAT

The future always includes some degree of uncertainty and reducing it is of special importance for decision makers. This is also valid for the decision makers in the public transport area. The uncertainty in the future demand and the need to know the factors that influence the demand make the area much interested in by the decision makers for the sake of planning and making right decisions. In this sense, knowing about the demand driving factors and determining future demand for public transport services are very basic managerial instincts for those who perform in the area. However, the subjec ...Более

Multifractality of the Istanbul and Moscow Stock Market Returns

Mehmet BALCILAR

There is a growing awareness among financial researchers that the traditional models of asset returns cannot capture essential time series properties of the current stock return data. We examine commonly used models, such as the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and the autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) family, and show that these models cannot account for the essential characteristics of the real Istanbul Stock Exchange and Moscow Stock Exchange returns. These models often fail, and when they succeed, they do at the cost of an increasing number of parameters ...Более

THE INFORMATION SOCIETY AND INFORMATION SECURITY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA SIRBİSTAN CUMHURİYETİ’NDE BİLGİ TOPLUMU VE BİLGİ GÜVENLİĞİ

Mehmet Emin ERENDOR

Cybercrime or the computer-related crime is the most widespread form of transnational crime, which is in its social and economic characteristics significantly different from traditional and organized crime. Cyberspace offers countless opportunities for economic development, social interaction, and political cooperation, but also provides tools for illegal surveillance, personal data collection, influencing democratic processes, committing crimes, and exchanging numerous ways and methods of warfare. This paper provides an overview of legal documents in the Republic of Serbia related to informat ...Более

The Safe Financial Processing Method for Realizing Supply Chain Integrated Business Intelligence Using Blockchain Application Scenarios

In order to improve the financial processing effect of supply chain integrated business intelligence, this study applies blockchain technology to the financial processing of supply chain integrated business intelligence and conducts an evolutionary game analysis on the factors that affect the selection of information-sharing strategies for logistic service supply chain nodes. By establishing the evolutionary game model of logistic service integrators and logistic service providers under the strategy of information sharing and information nonsharing, the value of information sharing in the logi ...Более

THE COLOR OF THE FUTURE IN MARKETING IS GREEN

Azamat MAKSUDUNOV | Murat AVCI

Green Marketing refers to efforts that in the production and marketing of products and services cause less harm to the environment.

Today, as environmental problems increase, the consumers' expectations from businesses have changed. Green consumers are generally defined as individuals who adopt environmentally friendly behaviors and / or buy green products among standard a ...Более

Kyrgyz National Felt Products: Modern Transformations = Кыргызские национальные войлочные изделия: современные трансформации

Kayrat BELEK

Испокон веков войлок играл огромную роль в жизнеобеспечении кочевников-скотоводов Евразийского пространства. В каждом домохозяйстве кыргызов традиционно занимались обработкой шерсти и выделкой кошмы. С распадом Советского Союза область домашних промыслов Кыргызстана переживает глубокие изменения. Они затрагивают и сферу производства войлочных изделий (одежды, предметов быта, снаряжения), которая является важной частью культурного наследия региона. Многие семьи перестали заниматься валянием войлока, что привело к утрате навыка изготовления войлочных изделий у значительной части населения. С дру ...Более

Economic and socio-cultural impacts of the world nomad games

Azamat MAKSUDUNOV

The World Nomad Games (WNG) is a new form of large-scale events in the world. Thus, little empirical research is focused on understanding perceived impacts of the WNG and behavioural tendencies of the host community. The research aims to reveal the perceptions of the local people regarding the possible impacts from hosting the World Nomad Games in two different localities of the Kyrgyz Republic. The impacts of the WNG were measured using a survey conducted among local residents based on face-to-face interviews. The study examines data collected from two localities in the Kyrgyz Republic: 384 s ...Более
